I also have the same problem when adding a epson px720wd networkprinter. When i use controlpanel>add printer, the installation keeps hanging arond 50%.
I tried the suggestion made by Bruno Nova (brunonova) wrote on 2014-06-18: "However, I then removed the Epson driver, then the Epson repository and key (using Software & Updates) and refreshed the cache. Then I tried to install the printer again, this time by executing the system-config-printer command from the terminal" -- The installation succeeded. The scanner is also working. I also tried to install the printer on netrunner 14.04, via system- settings>add printer. the printer installed correctly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to packagekit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1307917 Title: installing driver hangs indefinitely Status in “packagekit” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “system-config-printer” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: While installing a printer driver, I get the usual progress bar modal window (title: 'Installing driver epson-inkjet-printer-escpr', content: 'Installing ...'). It just stops and hangs indefinitely at about 50% progress though. I've inspected pstree, and the offending command line seems to be: /usr/bin/python /usr/share/system-config-printer/install- printerdriver.py epson-inkjet-printer-escpr deb http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/op/stable/debian/ lsb3.2 main E5220FB7014D0FBDA50DFC2BE5E86C008AA65D56 Running it from the command line outputs the following two lines: Signature key supplied pk.install_signature .. and then it hangs as well. I've attached an strace -f of the above command. The trace doesn't actually end (the process hangs as before), but does stop outputting new system calls.
